Nutrition Offer


Hey Family

I have a special offer for each of you, scroll down to the bottom to see my offer.
Otherwise, please read the other facts I think you should know too!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

What you eat is a critical part of weight management and overall health.
I will spare you all of the science details but here are a the most important principles:

- Weight loss is based on Calories In VS Calories Out
- Focus on Fruits and Veggies
- A "diet" is a misnomer, this is not something you are doing for a while, it is a lifestyle change. And that means making changes gradually.

For instance you could start doing each of the following at the beginning of every month:
First start with eating out less. Then cut out soda. Next try to buy low fat groceries. Add a vegetable to dinner. Stop eating everything in front of you, just eat until you're satisfied. Eat only one dessert a day.

There are 6 months of nutrition changes all added gradually. Just an example!
In this example for instance, you could keep eating multiple desserts a day for a few more months but in the mean time you started eating one more vegetable a day and stopped drinking soda.

Here is an interesting program called the National Weight Control Registry

NWCR

- It is a registry that you are invited to join if you lose more than 30 pounds and keep it off for more than a year.

Here is some quick info about all of the registry members:

98% of Registry participants report that they modified their food intake in some way to lose weight.

94% increased their physical activity, with the most frequently reported form of activity being walking.

There is variety in how NWCR members keep the weight off. Most report continuing to maintain a low calorie, low fat diet and doing high levels of activity.

78% eat breakfast every day.
75% weigh themselves at least once a week.
62% watch less than 10 hours of TV per week.
90% exercise, on average, about 1 hour per day.

Why I Only Lost 2 Pounds

I've been swimming a lot. about a month now and all of it has helped me tone my upper body muscles(I'll work on my lower half soon).Im getting ready for football for next season(i haven't played in 5 years!). My "abs" biceps and triceps shoulders and "pecs" have gotten really well AWESOME! Im excited and ready for track and football. Swimming is great for conditioning for sports. This is why i only lost 2 pounds.

Exercising regularly but still eating poorly

So I dropped around 9 lbs in January. I've been exercising an average of every other night for quite a while. It's been very difficult to maintain any kind of healthy eating though, mostly due to my work hours and whatnot. If I can just get my act together and eat at the right times, it will be a start. That is all.

Being sick helps!

Becky and I have been doing pretty good on our diet. We got off track last week with our exercise because somebody was sick in our house, not allowing us to leave. I was really sick for almost a week and got my weight down to 207.8, but I have gained a bit back. We have done really well with not bringing junk food into the house and we haven't had meat, or milk for pretty much the whole month. The times that we had it in front of us didn't appeal to us much. We feel healthier and stronger!! Our only setbacks are lazy days where we don't exercise. As soon as you don't get a workout in, it makes it harder to choose healthy foods. However, since its not in our house, we have to scrounge to find something bad. Keep up the good work everyone. This is fun, and I am living in less fear of having a heart attack every day!!
